Realtime Recognition of Attention State by Complexity Analysis of Electroencephalogram

Article Preview

Abstract:

The object of this paper is presenting a novel approach to classify the attention state and non-attention state. Firstly, the raw recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) data were decomposed by the algorithm of wavelet packet, several main EEG rhythms were extracted; then a complexity measure of these rhythm signal, approximate entropy (ApEn) was calculated respectively, and the values were used as input vector of a trained support vector machine (SVM), the output of this SVM will be the result of classification. The average performance obtained for the proposed scheme in classification is: sensitivity 73.7%, specificity 71.4% and accuracy 72.5%.
